We are looking for a highly motivated PhD candidate for a project related to the development of cracking computational models in high entropy alloys.

Context

In the frame of a collaborative project between three universities (Ulg, UCL and ULB), the main objective of the offered PhD position will be to develop a numerical modeling framework for cracking in high entropy alloys, known for their high toughness properties.

PhD opportunity

The PhD project will be advised by Prof. L. Noels from ULg (http://www.ltas-cm3.ulg.ac.be/), in close collaboration with ULB modelling efforts on microscale plasticity, and in collaboration with experimental efforts led by UCL. The starting date is flexible with a starting date possible as soon as June 1st.

Profile

The candidate should have a MS degree or equivalent in mechanical engineering or applied mathematics with a strong background in continuum and computational mechanics. Good skills in programming are required.

Application

Interested applicants are encouraged to send a file including:

  • a CV with a list of up to 3 references;
  • a short (max one page) statement describing their past research experience and interest;
  • a transcripts of academic records.

The application material is to be sent to Prof. L. Noels (L.Noels [at] ulg.ac.be).
